Back Taxes & Tax Debt by Donald Lowrey is the go-to Self Help novel to teach you how to take control of your tax debt, learn about your IRS back taxes, and understand the problem so that you can create a better solution than being taken to court. This book details everything from discussing the IRS and what they do, to tearing apart what your tax preparer can do for you, and what they vs. you are responsible for when it comes to your taxes.

It's very unfortunate to say, but I am one of the intended audience for Back Taxes & Tax Debt. Donald Lowrey speaks right to my horribly financially dependent heart. Written directly for people with no prior tax experience, this book is made for me and is actually very helpful as I near this year's tax deadline. On a very fundamental level, Lowrey seeks to educate the common person who may find themselves in a spot of trouble with the IRS. The most important thing I learned was that you have to jump on tax issues the moment that they occur. Don't wait until you are being fined or worse, have a warrant out for your arrest to deal with your back taxes. This book will be BEYOND helpful in navigating the troubled waters of IRS debt and will be a life saver while figuring out how to deal with the issues. The emphasis is on understanding of what's wrong and how you need to face it, and I feel like anyone who does their taxes can easily understand this one.
